Phenomena Point Swing And Flank by Paul Jenkins

Abstract expressionism’s fluid gestures found new ground in Jenkins’ pours. Phenomena Point Swing And Flank is one such moment, suspended between accident and intention. A central spine of white arcs upward, flanked by rivulets of indigo and ochre that pool like wet silk. The edges fray into raw canvas, as if the paint itself paused mid-breath. No brushstrokes, only gravity’s quiet persuasion. Hang it where morning light can trace those delicate seams—above a low credenza or beside a reading chair, where the colors shift with the hour.
